The Jewish Studies program at the Smith College provides students with the flexibility to pursue their interests and the rigor to emerge as confident thinkers, analysts and creators of culture.
Jewish studies draws on the most important disciplines of the humanities and social sciences in order to provide an interdisciplinary understanding of the Jewish contribution to civilization. Students from the sciences and engineering often enroll in our program as a way to enrich their liberal arts education. Students have opportunities to work closely with committed faculty in special studies at the advanced level, to develop close mentoring relationships and to expand their knowledge through study abroad. Many go on to pursue graduate studies in law, medicine, literature, history, religious studies, education, community service and other professions.
The program in Jewish studies expects students to graduate with an understanding of the religious, historical, political and cultural forces that have shaped Jewish civilization for more than 3,000 years.
